Rev. Mr.. Palmer read the Scripture
Mr.. Thompson. Mr.. Speare took for his
text Galatians, vi, Sand let us not be
weary in well doing: for in due season
we shall reap, if we faint not" After
contrasting the Christian life of the past
with that of the present, when its activi-
ties are manifested in so many ways, as
in missions, Y. VI. c. A. work and in
numberless other directions, he announc-
ed as his subject perseverance in Well
Doing" He spoke of the sources of
WEAKNESS in we'll doing opposition, open
and hidden; apparent lack of fruits. etc.
But there twas, too, an abundance of
successes, though they were not always
apparent; for the results are largely
spiritual and unseen. We should remem-
| Der, if inclined 10 WEAKNESS,
|. That none thrive as those who are
diligent in Christian well doing.
! IL. That such workers have unfaiing
and irresistible allies.
! Ill That Christian workers of to-day
have the satisfaction of knowing that
their cause is making unprecedented
progress.
/ ". That encouragement in well do
| ing may be found in the fact that any
specific form of evil can triumph only
/ temporarily because it has within itself
the seeds of destruction.
Under this head he dealt somewhat at
length with the temperance question.
The doom of the liquor shop, he said, is
as certain as the demands OF suffering
humanity. Dram-selling upon any pre-
text is sin. Public sentiment in this

of the text, "le shall reap, if We faint
not"

A Gambler Decorated.

The French government, which some time
ego seemed to sympathize with the efforts of
the adyersaries OF Monte Carlo that academy
OF suicide, has evidently changed its opinion
on this subject. II has just decorated the
president OF the Societs des Jeux. 1t is hard
10 explain why the government refuses TO au-
thorizc the establishment Ia France Of So
c.ety similar to that at Monaco, the president
OF which il decorates. The gamblers of the
whole world might be attracted TO Paris,
which for some time has complained Of being
less visited than it was, and they would
bring with them the animation end the profits
now taken to Monaco. But instead Of that
the governments forbids at Nice, which is ct
the very door Of Monaco, even the small
horse game, in which, with run Of bad luck,
one can lcse twenty-five francs in a day,
while at Monaco one can ruin himself and his
whole family in fifty minutes.
Ii i To be hoped. then, that the decoration
Of tas Legion Of Honor, bestowed on the
president Of the Society Of Suicides at Monte
Carlo, is the prelude to freedom Of gambling
in France and 70 the coniesring Of right en
al FronchneR TO open gambling houses, and
by tbis means 10 win q title to the decoration
OF the Legion of Honor.-St James Gazette.
